Northern Cass: Season Write-up

PHD is looking at 15-win team in this Season Review. I watched the Jaguars a good amount this past offseason and they improved a ton from the start of the summer to the end. It came as no surprise that North Cass won 15 games. Bryce Laxdal is the head coach for the Jags, he is a basketball junky who lives and breathes the game. If you ever watch Northern Cass play, it is easy to see. They run great action, execute sets, and they get the ball into the hands of their shooters.   The Jags will lose their All-Region star, [player_tooltip player_id='1145107' first='Landon' last='Moser'] this spring to graduation. However, I know the Northern Cass players will work hard this offseason, grow as a team, improve individually, and come into next season as an underrated & scary team.   Shoutout & Congrats to [player_tooltip player_id='1145107' first='Landon' last='Moser'] & [player_tooltip player_id='1547737' first='Trey' last='Husar'] for being selected as All-Region 1 Players.   See below for player comments, Q&A with coach Laxdal, stats, and results/scores.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/SeaonReview-.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/03/SeaonReview-.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-1842251" style="width:274px;height:auto" /></a></figure>   Team: Northern Cass   Mascot: Jaguars   Head Coach: Bryce Laxdal   Class: A   Region: 1   Record: 15-7   Player Comments from coach Laxdal   [player_tooltip player_id='1145107' first='Landon' last='Moser'] ('24) |6'1 G| - "A great competitor who brought it every night, he just wants to win."

[player_tooltip player_id='1547252' first='Keelan' last='Monson'] ('25) |6'4 F| - "Great inside presence who improved offensively throughout the season."   [player_tooltip player_id='1334001' first='Caleb' last='Enger'] ('24) |6'2 G| - "Great attacker who could get to the rim with ease."   Jacob Rider ('24) - "A great outside shooter"   Andrew Schenck ('24) |5'10 G| - "A gritty and tough PG"   [player_tooltip player_id='2276695' first='Sam' last='Nelson'] ('25) |6'2 F| - "A great worker who shows up every day"   Devin Wolf ('24) - "A coach on the bench"   [player_tooltip player_id='1547231' first='Myles' last='Froehlich'] ('26) |5'9 G| - "Will be in the conversation for starting PG next year, small but very crafty and will mix it up."

"I think the team's favorite memories were [player_tooltip player_id='1547252' first='Keelan' last='Monson']'s two missed dunk attempts, they still get brought up often!"   PHD: How did your team overcome adversity?   "We had 6 games this year where we were down 5-7 points with under 2 mins left and we came back and won 4 of those and lost 2 others in OT. This team always played until the clock said 0:00. That is one thing I will always remember when I think about this squad, they never gave up and they played hard for each other. I think most of that is attributed to how hard they worked over the summer."   PHD: What are a few things your team improved on this season?   "We didn't turn the ball over, we only averaged 8.8 a game. We always gave ourselves a shooter's chance."   PHD: Who are some role players that stood out to you?   "Jacob Rider's shooting from the outside"   "Andrew Schenck's ability to provide stability from the PG position and playmaking with his on-ball D"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547252' first='Keelan' last='Monson']'s rebounding"   PHD: Can you talk about your seniors?   "[player_tooltip player_id='1145107' first='Landon' last='Moser'] was a two-time All-Region pick who averaged over 20 ppg this year and guarded one of the other team's best players every night. One of the best to ever put on a Jaguar jersey, the ultimate team player."   "[player_tooltip player_id='1334001' first='Caleb' last='Enger'] physical rebounder and defender, we will miss Caleb's energy and ability to get to the rim."   "Jacob Rider was a knockdown shooter who brought great energy, he was always in the right place to take a charge."   "Andrew Schenck great PG who knew all the plays and would bring great toughness on defense."   "Devin Wolf is a coach on the bench, we will miss him in the huddle and the locker room."   PHD: Who are some up-and-comers to look out for in the future?   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547737' first='Trey' last='Husar'] - All-Region Returner"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1809393' first='Chase' last='Evenson']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547252' first='Keelan' last='Monson']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='2276695' first='Sam' last='Nelson']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547231' first='Myles' last='Froehlich']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547230' first='Hudson' last='Rietschel']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='1951589' first='Parker' last='Zieske']"   "[player_tooltip player_id='2276696' first='Brooks' last='Crockett']"   "These are all guys I look forward to watching this summer."   PHD: Who was your best defensive player?   "[player_tooltip player_id='1547737' first='Trey' last='Husar'] his 6'4 frame and athletic ability let him guard anyone 1-5."
